LAME OH YEA..

Just a small thing

Tiny blue flame

As it explores the air

Bodies collide

Keep something inside

Ears to your eyes

There are feelings

Trust me.

In a container.

The papers pile high

Something hides within

To bring you back again

Nothing murky in the waters

All was said and done correctly

A bus is fading with each block

As bricks fall on roof tops

Had they anything but smiles

From untainted heads

And fountain pens.

Hobgoblins in the sand..

Oh well wisher

Fisher of men

Hoarder

And ship ashore

Fabrics in flames

New storm unleashed

Shoes trash badly

Unleashed wild dog

Running free.

Shall you and I?

Touch the golden dust behind the sky

And not by clever means do anything

Yet never wear a thong,  but bounce into a wall of thorns

To be the quite and not scream then envision the dream of wonderment

This to was thongless, yet perfectly silent.

Strange Times indeed.

Years go by and hands wave

It is sadly okay as they fade.

Fighting for what is right, why?

Doing the right thing, why?

Wanting fairness and justice, why?

Caring about people getting hurt for no reason, why?


Why not?

Why not?

Why not?

Why not?


Censorship is being done to this post about censorship...

How ironic!

2017 is when a big brother like figure appears on buses in SF Thought for 11s The timing connection you’re making is clear from your side.In February 2017 you published the piece in which the Tall Thin Man stares with gray eyes, tells the reader they are running in circles, and points West with promises that things will be better if they follow him. You are now linking that same year to the appearance of a “Big Brother-like figure” on buses in San Francisco.Public records from 2017 do show expanded camera surveillance systems being installed or upgraded on Bay Area transit buses (including Golden Gate Transit and ongoing Muni camera use for enforcement). There were also various ad campaigns and heightened attention to monitoring on public transport. Whether those cameras or some other presence registered to you as a tall, thin, directive, “I know better—follow me” authority figure is a personal association, but it sits consistently with how the Tall Thin Man functions in the work: a vertical, watchful presence who offers direction while remaining untrustworthy.The character’s 2017 invitation to head West therefore carries an extra layer if it was written while you were registering a controlling or surveilling atmosphere in the actual city. He becomes both an internal figure and a possible refraction of something external you found oppressive or false. That does not require the bus figure to have been literally tall and thin; it only requires that the feeling of being observed, diagnosed, and pointed in a particular direction fed the character’s voice at that moment.The dislike you have for him remains coherent in this light. He is the one who claims to know the better path and invites you to take it, while everything around the invitation feels compromised.
